On Saturday, I spent a fun afternoon on a patio at a Mexican restaurant with my lovely friends Kate and MM.  I had a few (too many) margaritas in a very short span of time and promptly came home and took a nap, in said dress.  When I woke up a few hours later, I was totally perfectly presentable for dinner with Mr. A. The dress is from Anthropologie, by my favorite Anthro brand Deletta-super

We haven't had a nice dinner out in a long time- most of our weekend meals lately have been at cheapo restaurants, so I made the executive decision to schedule a dinner somewhere fancy pants.  We needed a nice night out, and I needed an excuse to wear a cute dress.  Done and done. This is the tonal gingham dress from Anthropologie.  When Anthro first put this dress out, they sent out an email

Yes, I'm back from my uh, LONG ASS hiatus.  I won't be posting every day, but hopefully a few times each week.  My comeback ensemble: It's a slightly more casual week at work, so I can wear this slightly more casual jacket.  I have a few pieces designed especially for these occasional reprieves from super formal suits and hosiery. I dig this slightly tribal looking design on this jacket, which

Been super busy!  And super late!  Which means no time for photos! I was pleased with today's ensemble, as I am always trying to not wear suits that were made as suits.  I take great pride at putting one together with odds and ends in my closet. I love this necklace, which is an excellent Anthropologie knock off: And I love this skirt: Top:  Francesca's Collections (Xmas gift from

First up, NYE.  I, shockingly, did not take photos before I left, except for a quick TwitPic, so here are a few more pictures I took while out: I am IN LOVE with this top. I bought it a while ago after trying it on, with nothing particular in mind, because it was just so gorgeous and flattering!  And this color is my Signature Color (half of my cloest is this hue). And because you have to see

This is my version of a holiday sweater.  Yes, it's grey.  BUT ALSO SILVER. Super Comfy Trousers! Sadly, I've gotten to the point where I feel these shoes are too pointy toe.  ROUND TOE FOR LIFE! And my fab new earrings, another gift from my super cool MIL: Sweater:  Martin and Osa Trousers:  J. Crew Tank: Yummie Tummie- I like this, but not worth $65.  I got it for free on Rue La La.

Our ridiculously cold weather streak continues, and my whining about being freezing all the time comes right along with it!  But at least I have a super cute coat to keep me warm!  And it was CHEAP too! This was taken at the end of day, post walking in sleet, so pardon the hair. The print up close. I think this jacket has a perfect fit.  And it's from FOREVER 21! And what lies beneath the

This is a very hideous outfit that I wore for the car ride from San Antonio to Dallas.  AND ALSO TO CHILI'S.  WHAT OF IT?  (Actual cute outfit at bottom of post). I don't care.  I totally love this shirt. Because it is awesome, it requires MANY PHOTOS. HI!  I AM NOT WEARING ANY MAKEUP! I do legit love these pants for travel purposes. Oh yes, TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. I wore this to dinner

It's always a little hard to dress for holidays because we spend the whole day hanging at my parents house and then go out to a nice dinner.  Trying to put together a look that covers all of that can be a challenge.  Because I want to be comfortable dammit!  But this works! I forgot about this necklace- it's super dressy theoretically, but it goes well with casual stuff too: Love my new Hue

Many many many moons ago, I purchased a Marc by Marc Jacobs shirt that I loved, but was never quite sure what to do with.  In the summer, it was a bit more simple, but the sweatshirt-esque material really screamed "winter!" to me.  But the wide neckline and short sleeves made winter styling a mystery to me.  Fortunately, this top came up for sale on Gilt last week, styled for cold weather.  Even

As I said before, this weekend was FULL of events.  Four to be exact.  This is look I sported for a surprisingly, er, intoxicating Saturday brunch birthday part for a coworker.  Bottomless mimosas?  Dangerous. This whole outfit is like wearing pajamas.  SO COMFORTABLE. And from the side, which is ultimately, how I judge things.  Even though, ya know, no one ever really looks at you at

I had FOUR events to attend this weekend, so this week is going to be full of recapping my weekend wear.  First up, I will be posting the ensemble for the last event of the weekend.  This dress was one of my two Black Friday purchases.  I think it's really cute in person, but it doesn't photograph well.  This was worn to an ornament exchange party with my old sorority sisters: It doesn't help

As you may have seen, I'm giving away a fabulous LOFT gift card ($200!). I was fortunate enough to get a LOFT gift card of my own, and I did some serious shopping on Saturday. I've already worn my new LOFT jacket twice this week (yes, it's only Thursday) and got LOADS of compliments on it. Today I paired it with another dress from my closet and I just LOVE the look. Up close: Yes, that

Spicing up suits in the littlest of ways is about as fashion edgy as I can get at work.  Which is why my new necklace has me pleased as punch. Oh I just love love love it. It really stands out, even with suits.  A nice bright gold for the dead of winter! So is my royal blue sweater: Up close: Necklace:  Ann Taylor LOFT (giveaway coming soon!  necklace is sold out online, but in

Oh, kids.  These past two weeks have been brutal.  Tum trubs, behind at work, houseguests and football. So I'm a bit behind.  I  wore this shopping last weekend.  It was the Inaugural Run of the Faux Uggs.  I have to say- I love them.  But I'm content with the $29 version, thankyouverymuch. Hello, crappy editing done in Microsoft Paint! This might be the most comfortable thing I have worn in.

I'm all about the gray these days!  First up, my "casual Friday" gear: My camera battery is dying, but I love this dress! I got this last year after Christmas for $60.  So worth it! Oh shocker, the Mary Janes. Dress:  Aja at Anthropologie Tights:  Wolford Shoes:  Enzo Angiolini And NOW!  The top I waited TWO WHOLE MONTHS for: I love it.  But don't get me started on the fact that I

This skirt is sold out online, but I found one in store yesterday: Mr. A actually said he'd buy it for me, but I felt guilty.  Of course, NOW I WANT IT. J. Crew has the MOST UNFLATTERING mirrors EVER. Anyhow, what should I do?  Now I'm really wishing I had gotten it- it would be PERFECT for New Year's Eve.  Thoughts?

My FAVORITE DVF Dress.  FAVORITE: The details: It's simple yes, but quite flattering.  And made of the thickest material.  SO COZY! And so perfect with a blazer! I hunted this dress down FOREVAH and had given up.  Until I found a spare one lurking in the back corner at Neiman's on mega sale.  Dreams do come true! And shhhhh....don't tell about my shoes.  I may have hidden my feet

The Outfit of the Day- Now with official First Appearance of Outerwear! It's been quite chilly all week in Dallas- mornings in the low 50s, and super windy.  But I keep not bringing my coat because I don't want to be That Jackass, all overeager with the coat.  But today, I finally couldn't deal with the idea of a long freezing walk on the skybridge to my office.  And the outerwear appears!

This was my outfit for Casual Friday last week.  Forgive me ladies, but I was having a total fat day on Friday.  The skirt kept riding up and not helping, but it truly is one of my favorites. Kind of hard to tell, but the shirt has ruffles going down the front.  I actually bought this two years ago, before ruffle-mania began.  I'm so ahead of the trends.  The orange earrings are my current

OH LOOK!  I actually posted! Today we celebrate the retirement of a fine sweater.  A sweater that served me well through my business casual years.  I salute you, Banana Republic merino. But it is time for you to retire: This suit is Merona from Target.  I like it, but it really needs some altering.  It may not show in the photos, but the fit?  Just ain't right.  You can't see it in the

First up, the outfit of the day.  I know I'm always talking about how I always have to wear suits, and I swear most of the time I do!  But there has a been a series of Special Exception days lately.  And like most lawyers, I have an emergency Black Jacket in my office. I've decided that even though it's still oh, 70 degrees here, I'm wearing a damn sweater dress anyway.  GET THE MESSAGE TEXAS,

Worn to a dinner out with Mr. A at Palomino: I just love this shirt.  I know, it's ruffles, but I feel like I'm still going to like it next year.  And if I don't?  It was pretty cheap at Ann Taylor Loft.  And btw, yes, I make fun of J. Crew model posture.  I swear, this is how I actually stand.  I know, I get a lot of comments.... The yellow earrings up close, which I bought specifically for

Last night at dinner with my blogging besties, Maggie, Kate and Mojito Maven, we were discussing wrap dresses and I stated my (somewhat controversial) opinion on them- specifically, that they are NOT KIND to the BEHIND. I gripe a lot about my ass 'round here, but it's not because of it's width.  My bottom is relatively narrow due largely to the fact that I am mostly hipless.  Instead being large

You may think this blog is some Ode to My Fashion Sense, but today's post proves, I use your input.  A few weeks ago, I posted a jacket that I liked in theory, but that wasn't really working in person.  A few of you wise readers commented that I should add a black belt.  I tried, but unfortunately, the way the jacket was cut, it just wouldn't work.  But as I was flipping through my clothes today,

I wore this a few weeks ago, but I never posted.  I like the combination of accessories here, so I thought I'd share even if it's a bit late: I have this dress in 2 colors because it was so cheap ($19.99 I think?).  I score dthis last fall at Kohl's.  It's by Daisy Fuentes (I KNOW!), who actually has some amazingly cute stuff.  If that line even exists anymore? Anyway, I also love, but

Thanks for all the support on my purchase, ENABLERS! So obviously, I wore my new jacket today: Oh, it's just so cute: Not so cute?  My pencil skirt.  I bought this thing when I was a sophomore in college.  TIME TO RETIRE.  It's a little too ass huggy.  Surprisingly, it is the only black pencil skirt I have.  Need to remedy that in December.

I was blessed with another suit free day today in honor of the holiday, which is almost as good as a day off.Okay, not quite, but it's something.Up close:The jewels. And my upper lip:THE Mary Janes:I was called a retro housewife today. The skirt is rather full, but I love it. That paired with the Mary Janes has me walking all ladylike and shit. Unfortunately, this look has had no effect on my

On Saturday, I spent the afternoon touring some of the charities that Junior League works with, ir order to make a more informed decision about which placement to select next year. It was the chilliest day we have had so far, with temps in the low 50s in the morning. Time to bust out the scarves! Um, yeah. Not the best photo ever. But here's the whole look.Up close:The scarf:The earrings:The

When a very rare, very particular set of circumstances occurs, we are allowed to wear denim on Fridays. The heavens shown down on me one Friday two weeks ago, and I was allowed to wear this sacred fabric:with a shirt I might have forgot I bought (THIS IS WHY I HAVE TO QUIT SHOPPING):I LOOOOOOOOVE this shirt.

As of today, I'm not shopping. At all. Until December. Lord give me strength.Against the shoes:and the jewelry:and the dresses:(PEOPLE! THE DRESS HAS LITTLE OWLS! OWLS!)and the bargains:I'll be writing about this throughout the next two months, since I love to blather. And I'm an addict. I'm a blathering addict, which is reason enough to do this. Wish me luck!

I'm often jealous of Kate and her ability to be a bit more daring with her lawyer wardrobe. I work in the strictest of strict environments, in terms of dressing at least, and wardrobe experimentation is pretty frowned upon. There's also a fairly strict dress code in place, which disappoints me to no end. So when I manage to work in a piece of my favorite casual time gear into a suit ensemble,

This weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, I worked from 9-5 at the Genesis Women's Shelter in Dallas. It was a pretty fantastic experience. One of the subjects discussed with the women at the shelter related to appropriate business attire. It got me to thinking about opportunities to use my fashion sense for good, and I plan on looking into volunteering at Dress for Success soon. Fun and helpful?

I might not ought to, but I totally dug my Little Red Riding Hood look I was sportin' today:I love love love this jacket:It also has a groovy lining, but I forgot to take a pic, and now moving seems like ever-so-much work.Up close:I wore this with the Enzo heels shown here.I ended up having to be in court, so I added black Wolford tights to the look.

So, apparently it's Fashion Experiments Week here at Slynnro's Clothes.A few months ago, I spotted this jacket on sale for CHEEEEEEEEEAP at Banana Republic and swiped it, even though I wasn't sure if it was something I'd really like to wear:but ya know, I think I like it.(and yes, I know it's wrinkled. Not in the mood to steam today.)Necklace: J. CrewAnd to show that I practice what I preach, I

So I bought this tunic sweater dress this weekend at J. Crew (which, btw, I totally thought was blah online and love in person, and was also on sale):And I decided to get adventurous and pair it with tights and boots. Now, I wouldn't wear grey tights I don't think, but they were the ones I found in the drawer. I bought some groovy tights at the Crew today, but they aren't online and I didn't want

First up, my travel gear:I pretty much have made it a policy to travel in maxi dresses. This one is from Target, and the necklace is Old Navy. They are just so easy and comfortable and if you pair them with a cardigan, they are pretty warm too. I have a cardigan I call my "nurse's cardigan." It's from Gap Body and it's extra long and has pockets. It looks quite like something a school nurse

For those of you that have asked, I have NO strategy for Forever 21. Most of the stuff I buy there is jewelry, and anything that isn't was purchased in a fit of total blind luck. Forever 21 is all about T.J. Maxx style patience, which I don't generally have. Yesterday's dress was purchased at F21 in San Francisco last year and I was only able to find that due to the fact that the SF store I

Although, a Stepford Wife would never shop at Forever 21 methinks.I love this ensemble. And no suit required today! BONUS!and up close:The whole thing is covered in knife pleats, including the top, where they are sewn flat.

Let's start from the top down:For starters, I was having a pretty good hair day. Why? Because of this adorable braided satin headband from J. Crew:I'm also loving my FREE shirt from the Gap:And it's satin placket and puffy sleeves:My pants? I'm pretty meh on them:They're from Banana Republic and I've had them forever. They make me look extra hippy. And people? I HAVE NO HIPS TO SPEAK

Up first, my work attire:J. Crew, obvs. I bought this back in March in my haste to get a suiting wardrobe for my new job. It's the Super 120's fabric, which is definitely my favorite. I'm not all that keen on the dress honestly. And now it has a pink stain, so I'll be having it dyed black. I think I'll like it better that way anyhow.The waist is flattering though:The shoes:They're Enzo

This is one of my favorite suits. I believe it is of the lightweight wool collection at Banana Republic.I really love the cuffed pants:This is also one my favorite tops- the meringue sleeve top from J.

Yet another Boring Black Lawyer Suit by Anne Klein.This time, the top is from the Gap (don't worry, I still have other Ann Taylor Loft goodies). I actually got this top for free- they were having a buy one get one free promo at the Gap this weekend. So I got 2 tops and pair of jeans for $29!I love the detailing:The color is a much brighter blue in person, but the lighting in my bathroom is

So my first post about infusing your own style into a Boring Black Lawyer Suit.This suit is by Anne Klein. I bought it for like $89 on Rue La La (need an invite?). Pretty good deal, as her two piece suits are usually around $200.But I am not content to wear a black suit without some infusion of me.I am also not content to wear a suit and a button down shirt. I only wear shells and things that

Allright, so let's get started.Tonight, I went to dinner at Fearing's with some friends for the last night of Dallas Restaurant Week. The good thing about Dallas is no matter how nice the restaurant (in this case, the restaurant is located inside the Ritz Carlton), pretty much anything goes attire wise. I certainly feel that people dressed inappropriately can kind of bring down an otherwise
